Snoop Dogg and The Game Organized Peaceful Rally in L.A.

As details about the ongoing tragic events and violence around this country continue to unfold, various celebrities have been using their status and platform in a positive way to help shine a light on the serious issues at hand. In the past few days we’ve read letters from Drake and Beyoncé, heard songs from Jay Z and Miguel, and many more have spoken up.

Today, Snoop Dogg and The Game tried to do their own part and took their cause to the street of Los Angeles. The two rappers used social media to organize a peaceful rally they called, “Operation H.U.N.T.”—the acronym stands for both “Hunt Us Not Today” and “Hate Us Not Today.”

In an Instagram post earlier today, The Game shared the address for the rally along with a message to everyone planning to join their rally. Read his full message below:

Calling: ALL AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN, MEXICAN AMERICAN MEN & any other RACE of REAL MEN with heart to stand with us today & walk peacefully to the LAPD headquarters. [LEAVE ALL WOMEN & CHILDREN AT HOME… THIS IS OUR MISSION FOR THEM] Do not: bring any weapons or anything illegal. Do not come high or belligerent.. We don’t need any HOT HEADS or anyone there for the wrong reasons… We will stand as we are, UNIFIED. I’m calling ALL GANGS, ALL RACES, ALL GROWN MEN affiliated or not & WE WILL STAND UNIFIED tomorrow !!!!

THE TIME IS NOW

TMZ caught up with Snoop Dogg at today’s rally and asked him about the thoughts about the horrific shooting that occurred in Dallas, Texas last night—shooting, injuring, and killing multiple police officers.

In response, Snoop said: “That’s not the answer, but at the same time there’s just a lot of built up frustration. That’s why there’s needs to be some sort of understanding, so we can bring it to a halt.”
